Comix Zone

Thehebrewhammer

Hi I'm trying to run the game Comix Zone on windows xp. I've tried to run it in windows 98 compatibility, aswell as '95 and 256 colors, however, nothing seems to work. The problem is that the game freezes immediately when started, and then I get the 'send' or 'dont send' windows error.
